Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2535523A] A regulator for reducing high fluid pressure at an inlet 70 to a lower pressure at an outlet 75b includes a diaphragm 21 which urges a closure member 14 to provide an opening (72, Fig. 1c) with a valve seat 17 to allow fluid to emerge at the required pressure. Inlet flow is deflected around the closure member 14 by housing 11 to substantially shield it from fluid flowing downstream and parallel to the movement axis, thereby reducing outlet pressure droop. The regulator may have a hollow member (41, Fig 2a) in the fluid passage near the outlet to communicate pressure to the diaphragm 21 such that the droop in outlet pressure as flow increases is reduced. The regulator may have an alternative closure member 14 incorporating two valve elements (14a, 14b, Figs. 6a-6d) each providing restriction to flow at different portions of the closure member stroke to limit the outlet pressure if fluid leaks through the diaphragm to the exterior via a vent aperture.
